A sharp, blackletter-inspired design built from faceted strokes and broken curves that read as chiseled, polygonal forms. Vertical stems dominate, with pointed shoulders, wedge-like terminals, and tight interior counters that create a dense, rhythmic texture in text. Curves are expressed as angled segments, giving rounds a hexagonal feel, while joins often pinch into crisp corners. Uppercase letters are tall and structured, and the lowercase shows a distinctly compact body with narrow counters and occasional descender hooks; numerals follow the same angular, cut-stone logic.
Best suited to display settings such as posters, titles, branding marks, and cover art where its angular detail and gothic rhythm can be appreciated. It can also work for short thematic passages, pull quotes, or chapter openers, especially in historical, metal, or fantasy contexts, but is likely to feel heavy and intricate for long-form body text.
The overall tone is medieval and ceremonial, evoking manuscripts, heraldry, and fantasy world-building. Its sharp geometry and dark texture feel dramatic and slightly ominous, lending an arcane, ritual quality to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended to deliver a modern, sharpened take on blackletter with a deliberately faceted construction and pronounced vertical rhythm. Its consistent wedge terminals and broken, angular rounds suggest an aim to feel carved, ornamental, and authoritative while maintaining a relatively clean, regular-weight silhouette.
In continuous text the repeating verticals and tight spacing create a strong “woven” color typical of gothic lettering. Several forms include distinctive notches and small spur-like accents that enhance the carved look but can increase visual busyness at smaller sizes.
